Use MegaMenu Widget with its Plugin

Mega menu is something that enhances your menu bar i.e. navigation bar´s effect visually. It looks and works awesome.

Want to display so many pages and categories in your menu ? We have a MegaMenu for you.

Hover over Theme Features or Shop menu item to see the mega menu in action.

If you´re new to WordPress and website management in general you might be confused when someone says something like ´Overwrite xxxx.php in your /library/functions folder and xxxx.css in your /skins folder´. What we mean by that is that you need to connect to your site using an FTP client, navigate to the mentioned folder and overwrite (more on how to do this later).
Sometimes we say things like ´You need to make changes inside xxxx.php located in your theme root around line 100´. What we mean by that is that you need to connect to your site, navigate to that file, download it to your hard drive, edit it and upload it back. Sounds tricky – but it´s far from it.

To successfully connect to your server you´ll need 2 things:

1. FTP client
FTP client is a program you will use to connect to your server. We´ll be using FileZilla during this tutorial. You can download it here
2. FTP account
Most people get an FTP account from their hosting provider. In case you didn´t receive one or you forgot the information contact your hosting provider or create one yourself. In case you´re using cPanel follow this tutorial. If you´re using Plesk as a server management software following this tutorial

Connecting to your server

1. Open FileZilla

2. Enter your FTP account details in the boxes at the top left corner. In most cases you can leave ´Port´ empty

3. If you entered everything correctly the panel on the right should populate with some folders and files. The left panel is showing your hard-disk files

How to find my theme files?

In the right panel find a public_html folder (or htdocs on Windows servers). Open that folder. If you installed WordPress in the root folder of your site you should see three folders called wp-admin, wp-content and wp-includes. All theme files are located in the wp-content folder; more specifically, the themes folder inside wp-content. A lot of times you´ll hear us say the term theme root. Theme root means you need to navigate to the first/parent folder of your theme. The path will be something like public_html/wp-content/themes/your_theme_name

How to install a theme?

Installing themes using FTP is really easy – drag-n-drop easy. Unpack* your theme on your hard drive and navigate to it in the left (hard drive) panel. In the right (server) panel navigate to wp-content/themes. Now just drag your theme folder from the left to the themes folder on the right. When the files finish uploading go to your site Dashboard -> Appearance -> Themes and activate your theme. Piece of cake, right 🙂

* – make sure you don´t extract the theme in a folder, use ´Extract Here´ so you don´t create a double folder problem.

How to update a theme?

For detailed instructions on updating themes please read the following article. For video instructions on updating start watching the video tutorial above around the 4 minute mark.

How to overwrite a file?

To overwrite one of the theme files navigate to the folder where the file is located and just drag the file from your left (hard disk) panel to your right panel. When you do that you´ll be prompted to overwrite – click yes.

How to edit a file?

In case you want to edit one of the files navigate to it in your right (server) panel, right mouse click on the file and select View/Edit. When you do that the file will open in your default text editor. Edit the file in your text editor and when done hit Save. As soon as you hit Save a popup will appear in FileZilla asking you whether you want that file uploaded back to the server- be sure to click Yes.

How to change file/folder permissions?

In the right Filezilla panel (the server panel) right click on a file or folder and choose ´File permissions…´. Inside the new window set the permissions either by clicking on the checkboxes or by entering the exact numerical value. Recommended permissions for files are 644, for folders 755. Some folders (like the cache folder) often require 777 permissions.

How can I find line no. 100 if there are no line numbers in Notepad?

If you plan on doing any serious file editing you´ll need to say goodbye to Notepad. My personal preference is Notepad++. The program is very easy to use, it features line numbers and also code highlighting.

How to make FileZilla open files in Notepad++

In case FileZilla doesn´t ask you which editor you want to use to edit php, js and css files go to (in Filezila) Edit -> Settings… -> File editing -> Filetype associations and add Notepad++ as a default editor for your files. This is how that area looks in my FileZilla

If you followed this guide carefully you should now be able to (easily) navigate, edit and overwrite any file in your theme.

Our Approach

Approach to Theme Design is another aspect which sets Templatic apart from many other companies. Each theme released has been created with the potential visitor in mind. Business sites tend to have a more professional look while modern directories often display vivid colors with lots of dynamic content. All of this is reflected in our theme’s designs.

Ever Growing Community

Templatic has a truly unique support system. It’s a place where members can share their experiences, communicate with other members and request professional support from Templatic agents. The system enables those that require assistance to get it quickly and efficiently while still providing lots of content (and discussions) for those that want to be active inside the community. As a reward to those that go out of their way to help others we give out free themes to active members each month!

Works with the Powerful Supreme Framework

Supreme is a child theme which works on top of our Supreme parent theme which also powers our other recent themes

With 3.0 release, WordPress has introduced a new user interface to help manage navigation menus, which simply means you´ll get a new page with some tools on it to help you add, delete, and arrange links.

To utilize this feature, you must first activate it. Without activation, your menu management page will display nothing, but an error.
If it´s currently inactive, in your WordPress administration panel, go to Appearance > Menus to see the error.

How to Activate WordPress 3.0 Menu Management

Add the following code to the functions.php file of your theme.
[php]if (function_exists(“add_theme_support”)) {
add_theme_support(“menus”);
}
[/php]
While add_theme_support(“menus”); is enough to activate the Menu Management page, the additional code around this necessary line makes sure if later or earlier versions of WordPress doesn”t have this feature then it will simply do nothing and cause no error.

What the code above means:

The code above simply means if the Add Theme Support function exists, use that function to add Menus feature. If it doesn´t exist, do nothing.

Step by Step

  1. Open theme folder and find functions.php.
  2. Open functions.php using Notepad or text editor of your choice.
  3. Copy and paste the code above.
  4. File > Save functions.php

Where to place the code

If the functions.php file of your theme is messy or you don´t really know where to place the code, go to the end of functions.php and paste the code before:
[php]?>[/php]
A question mark immediately next to a right arrow marks the end of a set of codes. The last combination of question mark and right arrow in the file marks the end of the file. Normally, if you add any code right before the file ends, you´d have no problem.

This set of codes is only slightly different from what you were first given. The additional
[php]<?php[/php]
and
[php]?>[/php]
at the beginning and ending of this set of codes means start PHP and end PHP.

You may close functions.php. For the rest of this tutorial, you don´t need it. Now you´ve activated the Menu Management feature or user interface, here´s what it looks like:

Using Menu Management User Interface

If you use wp_nav_menu() in theme template files to display the menu, by default, it will list only links with a Page attached to it. But, what if you wanted to add custom external links without creating a new page just to point to it? For example, adding a Twitter link to your site´s main menu. Here´s how.

First, create a custom menu because WordPress will not allow you to add, delete, or re-arrange links without at least having one custom menu. Name your menu then save it. For this tutorial, my first custom menu is named, ´first.´

After creating the custom menu, you have several options on Menu Management page to add links. For example, you can simply check the boxes next to the Pages and Categories you want to add then click the Add to Menu button. You can also add custom links and here´s what it looks like:
Don´t forget to click the Save Menu button after adding new links.

How to Display Custom Menu

Like I mentioned before, wp_nav_menu() by default displays your list of links based on what Pages you have. It doesn´t display custom menu links. To display the custom menu wherever you want it to show up, copy and paste the following:

Replace ´first´ with the name of your menu.

What the code above means:

  • Start PHP
  • Use wp_nav_menu() to display menu
  • The custom menu I want to use is ´first.´
  • End PHP

In whichever file you´re pasting it in, save the file. Upload this file to the theme folder on your server if you´re not directly editing it through the WordPress administration panel.

I created a blank theme just for this tutorial. Here´s what it looks like for me after putting the code above in the index.php file of my blank theme.

If you right click on the page currently displaying your menu and go to View Source, you get to see what this menu looks like under the hood. Here´s what it looks like for me:
[php]<div class="menu-first-container">
<ul id="menu-first" class="menu">
<li id="menu-item-4" class="menu-item menu-item-type-custom"><a href="http://son">son</a>
<ul class="sub-menu">
<li id="menu-item-6" class="menu-item menu-item-type-custom"><a href="http://grandchild">grand child</a></li>
</ul>
</li>
<li id="menu-item-5" class="menu-item menu-item-type-custom"><a href="http://daughter">daughter</a></li>
</ul>
</div>
[/php]
Wherever you see ´first´ in the set of codes above, you know it´s there only because I named the custom menu ´first.´

Display Multiple Custom Menus

To do that, you have to first create the second menu. Here´s my second menu, which is conveniently named, ´second.´ And, I´ve added two links under the second menu.
To display the second menu, duplicate code for the first menu and change menu=first to menu=second. If you named your second menu, ´submenu,´ then change menu=first to menu=submenu. Here´s the entire code:

Differentiating Custom Menus and Customizing Them

There are several ways to differentiate and customize custom menus. The most obvious one is using different names for first and second menus. The less obvious ways are customizing container_class, container_id, and menu_class.
Under the hood, by adding menu_class=my-main-menu using the ampersand sign (&), my menu list changes from:
[php]<ul id="menu-first" class="menu">[/php]
to:
[php]<ul id="menu-first" class="my-main-menu">[/php]
As you can see, to add another customizable option to the menu, you simply use the ampersand sign, the option you´re customizing, and the value of that option, which can be any string of texts of your choosing. After you´ve added the code, save the file, refresh the web page, and check under the hood by choosing View Source to see the changes made.

For a list of options you can customize or assign values to, go to wp_nav_menu at the WordPress Codex.
